How can be entered very large and very small numbers on variable filed on the form. For example -9 999 999 999.99(negative) or 9 999 999 999.99(positive) if the only setup of the variable field is format stayle ","(123,4456.78).
No way ("in normal world").
How you can recreate this issue :
- create form
- create 2 number variables("nNumber1" and "nNumber2")
- drag those 2 variables on the form
- setup on them only format style to be "," (123,4456.78) and 15 for a width and 2 for decimals (width doesn't matter, you can put it 25, behavior is the same)
- run the form
- enter in first variable field some very small(negative) number -999,999,999.99 (negative number with 2 decimal)
(you'll notice that you can't do that)
The same is with very large positive numbers 9,999,999,999.99
- BUT YOU CAN
- push the enter button to leave from that field to second and than go back to the first by mouse click on it and try again, and VOALA. IT'S WORKING.
What is the problem here. We have a large bookkeeping app. And it is working with some 20+ firms with over 100 users (computers) around 1 year. No one notice that until last week, when starting at the end of the annual audit business (there are of course major figures in circulation, positive or negative). Than this come up.
Is there any SOLUTION.
I can't simply say my client : "in first attempt enter any number and than go back end enter the second time the required number"
I create BUG REPORT but nobody answer me.
Not a word. Is it my error or bug. Very unprofessional from Alpha.
If they do not fix old version than they can say, i understand it. Simply not a word from them.
By the way I have the latest patch for alpha v11 and it's running on the windows 7. I try the same on the v12 of alpha and it is the same problem there.
